PER CURIAM:

OPINION
1

Clarence Sutton seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus
relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1988). Our review of the record and the
district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Sutton v. Warden, Maryland House of
Correction, No. CA-92-2426H (D. Md. March 11, 1993). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
